I actually posted this yesterday, but because Blogger sucks, I ended up losing the post. AJAX (and DHTML, for that matter) is great and all, but it doesn't degrade gracefully. And unlike, say, a plain HTML text field, you can't just go back after the post interface if you post and blogger vomits up an error -- your entry is lost forever.

(I hope blogger makes a plain text field option available for the posting interface. Like I said, as great as AJAX is, I've reverted to using plain old HTML for my Gmail interface -- it just plain works.)

Anyway, last Saturday, Leks, Frank, Jonas, Rico, and I met up with JAm at Gateway to celebrate JAm's birthday. Needless to say, it was a lot of fun.

You know that old saying, Everybody's a comedian? I don't know if this is true for any other group of friends, but when my friends and I meet up, it's like there's a competition between everyone to come up with the funniest lines during the conversation. As in, wala nang matinong usapan, puro joke na lang. It's virtually Comedy Def Jam out there. I enjoy it a lot, because my friends really do have funny jokes.

(Except for Jonas, who has nothing but corny jokes. But at least he makes us laugh with the serious things he says, like last Saturday, when he asked me in all seriousness, "Pare, alam mo ba kung saan umuuwi si Angel Locsin?")

The line of the night came from Alekos, while we were all talking about this girl JAm has been dating. "Labas kayo nang labas, pa-dinner-dinner, pa-sine-sine, wala namang nangyayari, hindi naman nagiging kayo. Para kang ako eh.."
